You are correct, Roger is great, but over all, Nadal has both an awsome forehand as well as his backhand, Roger is pretty one sided. He rips one occationally off the backhand side, but look what everyone is doing now, 9 out of 10 shots to that side. Like Mike Tyson in boxing, it's only a matter of time before everyone figures out your weekness. The angles Nadal hits are sick, I'm not disagreeing with you that Roger is great, but all this cutting down of Nadal is just wrong. He who cuts down a player like him is not truly a tennis fan, other wise they would recognize him for his great game

You're definitely not the only one who hates Nadal. As far as I'm concerned Roger is still the best!

Don't get me wrong. I respect Nadal's game a lot. He is the greatest defensive player ever in my opinion...his ability to make winners from defensive positions is jaw dropping. But I think Federer does almost everything better than Nadal. Federer is a lot more skilled, technical, and fundamental sound than Nadal. Baseline, serve and volley, ace...you name it! He's a magician on the court and can hit any shot, a true artist. I think Federer's inability to beat Nadal now is purely mental. Once he gets over that hump he will go back to his winning ways....but after that mental breakdown at the Aussie Open, it's not looking too good. If he never get's over it, then I will concede (Nadal is better) But for now, I am a passenger on the Fed Express!

To Nadal's credit...he's without a doubt more powerful, faster, and has more heart than Federer.

See, youre not a Nadal hater at all like some of these people on here that make their idiotic statements. I tennis player - tennis fan knows a good player when they seeone, regardless of weather they'd go out for a drink with them. Now the screetching- screaming Williams sisters and that Ididot Sharapova, now them I don't like. But again, I do recognize their tennis, they are very good, I just hate all that crap, it's not needed to hit the ball. Everyone grunts alittle once in a while on a big shot, but come on, they make sellis sound like she was whispering back then.

Lol I'm sorry no one grunted louder than Monica! I used to be like the others too, but Nadal is undeniable. Although his "VAMOS!" can be just as annoying as Serena and Sharapova...and he takes forever to serve when he's in trouble!
